I downloaded the beta AIM from the aim.com site, installed it and it seemed to work fine but then I went to check on it and the program wasn't open and tried to run it again and it gives an error.
Anyone know how to get aim working or is there some issue, alternative? Thanks
Well, what error does it give?
Also, you may want to look at alternatives such as Slick, Jivetalk, Palringo, Fring, etc.
I've used a few different clients, and I'd recommend BeeJive.
Nevermind...Didn't realise the device came with a pre-installed program that has AIM wrapped into it.
Sorry for wasting space!

I'm interested in this too -- and would appreciate learning the pros/cons because I know that some people really don't like Oz. However I also have unlimited messaging, so SMS charges aren't an issue at all for me if the functionality is there.
Anyway - I just found the Oz cab here. Just takes a bit of looking. Go to the FTP site here and into the Wizard\Extended_Roms sub dir:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Extended_Roms
Download the "TMo-US-Ext Rom.zip". Inside you'll find all the CAB files, including what appears to be the Oz install.
I downloaded this, and have the files -- just want to verify that all we need to do is drop the Cab into the MDA (Wizard) and run it to install. Anyone else try this yet?
thanks alot, jon. i did do some ALOT of searching on my own but i didnt really know where to look. i appreciate the help.
i just installed oz and it works like a charm. so thanks alot. -tommy

tommy - great! I imagine that it doesn't use any "main storage" (working RAM) when it's not running, does it? As long as there's no downside in having it installed, other than using up space, I'm ready to try it. It would really be nice to have a full-fledged instant messaging client again on the phone. When Agile is ready, I'll probably go that way, but I'm not ready to deal with "alpha" level issues right now...
where can find the one with MSN?
Thanks
Well, this DOES use your SMS texts you know, not data. If you want one that uses data, goto palringo.com, its freeware, and supports AIM, YIM, MSN, ICQ, GT and many more.
Yes i know OZ uses SMS, I like it cuz I can still get my messages if i don't get reception.
I heard the new one has MSN but i can't find it.

how exactly do i install this? i downloaded it to my computer, i can hook my BB up to the computer via USB. it shows some folders. which do i drop the OZ messenger cab file into?
please help. ive been looking for this for months.
thanks
If you have a subscription to Sirius Satellite Radio you can stream it on your Wizard with this great application.
To install it extract the files to your computer and copy them to a folder on your wizard. You can create a shortcut in your program menu for easy access.
SiriuCE does the same
SiriuCE does the same and has a much nicer interface. I have tried them both and much prefer SiriuCE plus it supports TCPMP which is my preference of media players. I must say that since none of the Sirius radios support Bluetooth and my 8125 does it is quite the hot setup especially with Summiters kick butt AKU 2.3 ROM providing much better WiFi speed then previous editions.
tried both and you're rite ce is the better of the 2
[g ride - why is your signature so big? It makes the board quite unreadable. I think it would be polite to resize it slightly.
]
I like SiriuCe better. Nicer interface.
Can you stream over edge or GPRS? or just wifi?
Thanks
Thanks for the SiriusCE update. I hadn't used the old one in a while and when I tried it again a few days ago, found it no longer worked. Now I know why. Between this and Sling Mobile, I barely even use this thing as a....phone?....anymore.
Any idea of how much data (kb/min?) is used?
I'm just using a 3 Meg package and wonder how long it will last...
about: SiriusCE
Thanks for share the cab my friend..
Both are dead, anyone know where to find an updated copy?
yeah nevermind found a working version of siriuswm5, http://forums.geekstoolbox.com/
so far its great ;D
Is SiriusWM5 Still Working?
It used to work on iPaq but not anymore. I get "Connection failed." when I try to login. I can login using Sirius Yahoo Widget and on sthe sirius website so I know my account is good.
Is SiriusWM5 working for anyone? I don't see any recent posts so it probably is, but I can't figure out why it stopped working for me.

Don't like OZ, it uses the sms instead of data. I use IM+. Just ranting. lolz.
Original Instant Messaging Program
Hey, I need the original Instant messaging program that came with my tilt. (the one with aim, live, and yahoo). Where can i get that? I looked through the threads and couldn't find it. Thanks.
You're looking for Oz messenger and it's in the downloads link in my signature. Though I'd recommend you checkout Jivetalk, as i've found it to be a vastly superior messaging program and it is free right now because it's in alpha testing.

Ever herd of a thing called a wiki it contains a link that you can d/l all att .cab's. But I guess its just easier to be lazy and post a new thread on your first post.
dont you spend as much time or more reposting how evil they are for not searching?
Yeah but if it teaches them to search then its worth it. The amount of threads that are completley redundant beacuse of this type of thing

Another Instant Messaging Thread
Ok I've been digging around the forums for about 2 hours now and I still haven't been able to find it, so I figured I would just break down and ask you guys. This may sound strange, but I liked the Instant Messaging client that comes pre-packaged with the Tilt, but after I flashed the ROM to Hyperdragon III to my surprise (Don't ask me why I didn't think of this ahead of time, I do not know) it was no longer there (for obvious reasons).
Does anyone know where I can find this IM client? Ive been digging around this forum and the at&t forums for a while now, and I'm about ready to give up.
I know all the alternatives, I just liked what came stock with the unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
i was looking for this myself as I use msn and yahoo messengers but had no luck finding the extracted app. I have settled for the live messenger right now which is on the cabs list under hyperdragons post but will monitor this to see if anyone posts the cab file

IT's called OZ IM, it's available to download in my cabs folder, and if you search you should be able to find it pretty easily.
Will merge this with the other IM threads.
Sorry to burst your bubble
Sorry, to burst your bubble.
Bursting your bubble.
I'm sorry for it.
Anyways, OZ instant messenger doesn't run of sms exclusively. I've been using it frequently via medianet on my tilt and I haven't had a single text message charged to my account. So go ahead and download oz messenger and use it via medianet. As for jivetalk... i don't know, but i'll check it out.
The cab files worked great. Thank You. I've also been looking for the IM program for the Tilt. Mine had disappeared after I hard reset the phone and dind't allow AT&T's bloatware to install.
Thanks again
The files worked great!! I have been looking for the IM program for my Tilt for a while as well. Mine disappeared after I did a hard reset and didn't allow AT&T's bloatware to install
i don't know if anyone else is having this problem. the aim software that came loaded on the tilt doesn't work.
when it loads it will show 0 buddies. when buddies show up it says they are unavailable because your using a mobile device??
then when i try it with wifi the aim software doesn't work with wifi.
is there are only aim program out there? my old phone (sidekick 2) had a full version of aim loaded on it. i never had a problem with it.
I have had the tilt for about 2 months now and aim still doesn't work right.
thanks. -BILL

meebo
hello aim, msn
nimbuzz,

i know that beejive on the bb and iphone work wonderfully, but beejive isn't available for the G1

someone please help!

btw i've even tried the google chat, aim and msn, using jabber hack/plugin
and it was alright until i started having connection problems with that too and wouldn't sign me on aim anymore

of coarse its goin to slow your phone down and take long to load...they are freaking multi-chat apps.. its like runnin in the background and signed onto many other IM services.
and they disconnect whenever they are not used or opened in a while most likely
Ebuddy is the best. just terminate background programs that you are not using and you will be good to go, that's what I always do. Also, overclocking to MHz Max MHz lowest is the best config for all chatting platforms, thou it works best on the Ebuddy one..Advance Task Manager should help you with terminating the BG Programs.
Or you can connect through them all via google talk :]
